Behind the Scenes on 'Sea Glass'
Thanks Also to Our Fantastic Crew!
An Amazing Experience!
Paula Rodriguez-Negron, a 3rd-year film and TV production student at York St John. Originally from Florida, moved to England to pursue her passion for filmmaking. This was the first set where Paula was able to direct a script that she had c0-written and loved working with the actors. "I'm grateful to be surrounded by a team of experienced individuals who have been supportive throughout the process. I'm always eager to learn more about the film industry and expand my horizons."
'Spurn Point' Lighthouse : A Testing Location
Filming at Spurn Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve was challenging, but it was also a lot of fun. The lighthouse, where we were based, is cut off by the tide twice a day. Stay tuned for more behind the scenes shots and insights into how the edit is going (it's going great!) Thanks to the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust for their kind support.
Working Late Into the Night
A great cast & crew, working in difficult conditions (day & night) but always with a professional and positive approach. It was a pleasure and a privilege working with you all.
Thanks to All Our Supporters!
And of course, we could never have made this film without our generous supporters. Thank You and Enjoy the Film!
